bob493 Posted May 2, 2016 Report Share Posted May 2, 2016 Guys, hope one of you knows what Im looking for. Im building a watch case, and theres a special type of hinge that is mortised in, its also got a curved metal piece that keeps a lid from over extending open, kinda locks it open at 90 degrees. Im not looking for a specific hinge more or less looking for a specific function. If you know of a small, good looking hinge that will keep a box lid from flying all the way open, please lemme know!

Coop Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 If it's a small box, Brusso makes a 95* hinge. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll never spend 50 hours building something then slap $5 brass plated stamped garbage hinges on it. But hey, that's me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drzaius Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 It's $50 for the pair ($60 for us Canadians). Sounds like a lot until you look at the hinge & think about what your using it in. I'd pay that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this juncture in time, Im not willing to drop 50$ on two small hinges. If Im wrong, so be it, I can always fix it later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
